Ketogenic diet composition in cancer clinical studies

Cancer type	Fat %	Protein %	Carb %	Ketogenic ratio (Fat: Protein + Carb)	Notes	Reference
Ovarian/Endometrial Cancer	70	25	5	~ 2.8:1	Protein notably higher than theory, carbs restricted	[100]
Breast Cancer	80–85	16–18	2–4	1.6:1–2:1	Closer to classical KD but with increased protein	[101]
Pancreatobiliary Cancer	80	15–20	3–6	1.75:1	Moderate protein	[102]
Breast Cancer	55	19	6	~ 1.4:1	Use of MCT; higher protein, lower fat than standard KD	[103]
Pancreatobiliary Cancer post-pancreatectomy	70–80	15–25	3–6	1.05:1–1.75:1	Moderate protein range	[104]
